Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation is an essential component of vascular development. These cells perform biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the vessel wall.

There is clear evidence that alterations in the differentiated state of the VSMC play a...
